Paqui He suggested that this fly is Coenosiinae.
I see similar but not equal to Coenosia attenuata.
An expert could say whether or not that species.?
Thanks for your help.

Much obliged.
I can only compare the photos, looking for possible similarities or differences, but without taxonomic expertise. So I could not see the identity
Best regards.
